We asked The Rare Welsh Bit to go out and try some of the fine dining experiences that’s to be had in the county of Denbighshire and also the dining scene in North East Wales. This blog was focusing on the fine dining experience of Denbighshire but be sure to check out the blogs that Kacie has done on the dining scene in North East Wales and also her experience of the Year of the Sea Food Challenge.

Wales has 7 Michelin starred restaurants and we are very lucky to have one of them in North East Wales. Tyddyn Llan wouldn’t be what you were thinking a Michelin star restaurant looks like, with it being at the edge of a rural village of Llandrillo. However this only adds to the beauty and serenity of the restaurant and you can see why the Duke of Westminster used it once as a shooting lodge. A warm welcome is waiting for you at Tyddyn Llan and also a cosy atmosphere (perfect for winter nights!). Staying as true to locally sourced food as possible the Michelin starred restaurant makes sure that their food can be traced to Wales so that you can be sure that you have had a true taste of Wales on your visit.

If you are a fan of history and rustic buildings, there is no better place to eat than On the Hill in the market town of Ruthin. With a warm atmosphere and welcoming staff this is the perfect food place to experience the best in Welsh hospitality. The food ranges from some classic British dishes but with a slight twist that makes the food more intriguing and unique, and don’t be afraid to return as you will be greeted with a different menu. With the food being incredible value for money this compact 16th century restaurant is a must visit when you are travelling through Denbighshire and with the restaurant being listed in the Michelin guide again for 2019 and winning the Best Restaurant of North Wales for 2018….it’s not just us who thinks it is a fantastic fine-dining experience.

The perfect base for your travels in the North and South of the county of Denbighshire would be Manorhaus Hotel and restaurant at Ruthin and Llangollen.

With smart but never stuffy dining for those who enjoy freshly prepared modern cuisine that takes full advantage of locally sourced ingredients and produce, served in attractive yet relaxed surroundings with attentive unobtrusive service then Manorhaus is the place for you. With also access to the spa and mini cinema within the Ruthin hotel you will be sure to have a complete evening when you spend it within Manorhaus….and give you time to digest your food.
